I have had my PC for just over a year i know very little about the specs of pc etc. there was no graphics card supplied with my pc so recently bought 1 was only cheap but makes it run slightly quicker on games.
My query is my pc has only got PCI ports as far as i'm aware and not PCI-e or AGP can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent PCI graphics card???
don't really know anyone about this kind of thing. played the demo of BF2 and had to turn all the graphics down for it to run average so was just thinking if could upgrade card would be worth buying but by the sounds of things would take alot for someone that doesn't know alot about them. i have however just found a nivida 5200 256mb card would that make much difference??

At a pinch, if you REALLY have to, you could get your machine upgraded at *holds back vomit* PC World.
you must be joking when i was looking for my nivida 5200 128mb card asked them if they would install it and they where gonna charge me extra £40 (did myself in the end with the help of google)

theres one up the road websystems think its called asked them about it cuz they don't even stock PCI cards and they shyed away from the whole thing

could you tell me what sort of difference the 128mb card and the 256mb card would make if any?? would it be worth changing???
no waste of money. What cpu do you have and what size case do you own? Fancy a day out ?? Ill do the job for ya (if this would be considered spam of course im joking if it isnt then im not )
just trying to assertain the size as what size of mobo you would need. you have 8 meg of your ram taken by onboard there may be a way to shut this off which might help the problem
download everest this will tell you everything about your machine.See if you can find the motherboard model number
